What Does Obama’s Justice Department Have Against the T-Mobile Girl?!

The Department of Justice announced today that it was suing to block AT&T’s $39 billion deal to buy T-Mobile. Like all somewhat red-blooded American men, our first thought was: Is this good or bad for the T-Mobile Girl?

Good: She won’t have to become the AT&T Girl and start wearing more corporate-appropriate attire in a depressing shade of blue.

Bad: The decline in parent company Deutsche Telekom’s stock price (down nearly 8 percent in trading in Frankfurt) may impact her signature-flirty-pink-dress-and-pumps budget.

Good: Possibility remains open that we could meet cute when she playfully questions some onerous or balky aspect of our AT&T service, then looks at the camera with that sexy-wry smile, the one that signals she’s read Jonathan Lethem and listens to Elvis Costello and might go for someone who works at a magazine.

Bad: We’re reminded that we switched back to AT&T two years ago because we tried T-Mobile and hated it. Or should we say T-Dropped Every Other Fucking Call?
